Hackathon City "Creating a Smart City"
The Hackathon City "Creating a Smart City" was held on September 5 and 6, 2014. The objective of this participatory initiative was to design digital apps that facilitate access to public services in Guatemala City; especially for the means of transport, tourism-sport, traditions and recreation, security, commerce, cycling routes, energy and water. The winning project of the Hackathon was "BICIty", an app that shows the city's cycle paths, routes and points of interest. Members of the BICIty team represented Guatemala at the Smart Governance Forum in Medellin, Colombia.
